On Indigenous Peoples Day I recognize the extraordinary history of Native communities, and the work left to do to reconcile the injustices they’ve faced and still do from our government.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

My dad suffered from insomnia when I was growing up & used music to relax at bedtime. If I was quiet, he'd let me listen with him. Tapestry was one of the albums he played frequently. I still listen to it at least once a week. Thanks for the music and the memories, @carolekingofficial.bsky.social ❤️🤙🏽
On This Day (February 10, 1971) Carole King releases her seminal album Tapestry. The album cover features the barefoot, 29-year-old singer sitting on a window sill in the living room of her Laurel Canyon home with her cat, Telemachus and a tapestry which inspired the album’s concept. #Tapestry

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA.
There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.

Jimmy Carter, dead at 100, was mocked as a country bumpkin but didn't deserve our sneers. He probably improved more lives over a longer period of time than any other president. He is the only one in modern times who did not lose a single soldier in combat. My tribute: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/o...

I'm curious. During the campaign, fact-checkers routinely dinged the Harris campaign for calling Project 2025 Trump's playbook, saying "Trump has denied this."
Have any of them admitted how badly they got rolled in the most obvious of ways?

During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA
